Hey, just because it's the Dark Ages, does not mean these 8 films are lacking in quality, they just lack in cultural impact when compared to earlier and later films. The Bronze Age: (1970 - 1988) Also, known as the 'Dark Ages' of Disney Animation. These films were the last to have Walt Disney's direct impact, with The Jungle Book being the final film in this era. The Transition Era: (1960 - 1969) Some might call these 3 films part of the Silver Age, but they have a distinct look that sets them apart (due to a lower budget and the new Xerox animation process). The Silver Age: (1950 - 1959) These 5 films bring Disney back to center stage, ending with Sleeping Beauty, a distinct stylized masterpiece. The Package Era: (1942 - 1949) These 6 films feature a combination of shorter 'packaged' animated features that lack the staying power of the more feature quality pictures, and although very entertaining, they are largely forgotten when compared to Disney's earlier and later classics. I've divided the Disney films into 9 Distinct Eras: The Golden Age: (1937 - 1942) These are Walt Disney's first 5 feature films, and are undisputed classics that remain an essential part of the legacy of animation. This list does not include the Disney/Pixar films (such as Finding Nemo or Coco), nor does it include the many Direct-to-Video sequels (The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, for instance) produced by Disney over the years. Disney maintains these numbered films, so personal opinion cannot just add or remove films from the list based on popularity. This list contains all of the officially numbered feature 'Classic' films Walt Disney Animation Studios has released.
